Irrigation with Coal Mining Effluents: Sustainability and Water Quality Considerations (Sao Pedro da Cova, North Portugal)

Catarina Mansilha et al.

Summary: The study characterized two water effluents from an abandoned coal mine in Portugal, finding that the mine water does not meet international irrigation water quality standards and needs treatment before being used for irrigation by local farmers.

Changes Induced by Self-Burning in Technosols from a Coal Mine Waste Pile: A Hydropedological Approach

Jorge Espinha Marques et al.

Summary: This research aims to identify and characterize changes induced by self-burning in Technosols from a coal mine waste pile and its potential impact on the leaching of PTEs and PAHs through a comprehensive hydropedological assessment, which included geochemical, mineralogical, and hydrological data. The study found several changes in the Technosols affected by self-burning, such as the development of specific soil horizons, destruction of humified organic matter, contrasting geochemical composition, mineralogical modifications, and specific susceptibility to leaching of PTEs and PAHs. The research demonstrated that self-burning significantly alters the hydropedological properties of the soil, influencing the leaching of toxic elements and hydrocarbons.
